BAW56W,115

The BAW56W,115 from Nexperia is a high-speed switching diode array with two diodes in a common anode configuration. It is designed for general-purpose switching applications requiring fast switching speeds and low leakage current. The device is rated for a maximum reverse voltage of 90V and a forward current of up to 215mA per diode (125mA per device at 25°C).

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.0V at 50mA and 0.855V at 10mA, ensuring efficient operation at typical signal levels. The reverse recovery time is typically 4ns, enabling high-speed switching up to several hundred MHz. The reverse leakage current is a maximum of 500nA at 80V reverse voltage, contributing to low power consumption in standby modes.

The device is housed in a compact SOT-323 surface-mount package (also known as SC-70), with a maximum power dissipation of 250mW when mounted on FR4 PCB. The operating junction temperature range is -65°C to 150°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. The common anode configuration simplifies PCB layout for applications requiring two diodes with a shared anode connection.

Typical applications include high-speed switching, logic level shifting, and protection circuits in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial systems. The small footprint and low profile make it ideal for space-constrained designs.
